Dark Chocolate Mousse

Notes
The better the cacao and chocolate you use, the more delicious your mousse will be. Make sure your chocolate contains at least 80% cocoa solids and choose a raw cacao powder.
Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
Place the chocolate into a bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, for several minutes until melted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Place into a blender with the tofu, maple syrup and cacao powder. Blend until smooth.
Pour into small serving glasses and place into the fridge to set for at least 45 minutes before serving. Alternatively, chill in a bowl and spoon onto plates when you are ready to serve.
Serve drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with flaky sea salt.

Delicious & easy. I added a few berries along with the olive oil and salt flakes. Yum!
Delicious - quick to make. I melted dark chocolate in the microwave (very carefully) also liked the fact that it is egg free but still has a reasonably good amount of protein in it for a dessert.
Lovely, simple recipe. Suspect it would be very good with various chopped nut/fruit combos
The flavour pay-off for how simple this is to make is well worth it. The sprinkle of salt and olive oil on top makes it.
This tastes really good. My consistency was a lot thinner than the picture... It was a thick smoothie.. Maybe I will drain the tofu next time ( even though the recipe states not to).
Amazing!! Super decadent! Perfect texture! I used 85% dark chocolate. I might go for a 70-80% next time! Already got the ingredients to make it again
Absolutely delicious 😋
Enuf said!
Yum! Have experimented and made it several times now with various toppings as an alternative to the olive oil and salt. Delicious with chopped hazelnuts or stewed rhubarb or raspberries or fresh strawberries.
Added water/soymilk to increase moisture to bring to pudding consistency. Tofu brand will make a difference for outcome.
Delicious
Wow what a treat!
very rich - only needed a small amount
This Dark Chocolate Mousse was delicious. Beautiful balance of healthy ingredients. We took Dr Rupy’s advice and added the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cornish Sea Salt Flakes. Served with Fresh Raspberries.
Best guilt free dessert ever
Lovely alternative to classic high in sugar/saturated fat desserts.
It’s amazing! One tbsp maple syrup is enough though
Really nice. Made it with cocoa powder as that’s what I had. Especially liked the sea salt flakes with it! This is the first time I have enjoyed tofu too.
This recipe is amazing! I asked my friends what the secret ingredient is and they couldn’t pick it! I still get the feeling that I can overindulge in too much chocolate otherwise I’d eat this for breakfast lunch and dinner.
This is bloody delicious and super satisfying. I've never used silken tofu fir a desert before, it's a game changer!
it's texture is too thick. Needed to have more liquid?
I had to add some water to it because there wasn’t much water in the silken tofu packet.
Deeeelish! Little bit too sweet so I’ll take it down next time
Lovely chocolate fix, so good!!
